The Melbourne Injury List
Lynden Dunn had a good game on the weekend, and fantasy coaches who played him, or Yze, might have gotten a good result. There will be plenty of chances to find fantasy steals as the Demons will have to continue going to their VFL players to find the numbers for their AFL side. Neitz is a lot closer to returning than many other Demons, first round pick James Frawley could be playing for Melbourne next month and Ricky Petterd might make his debut on the weekend.

Melbourne’s Injury List
AFL Fantasy Impact:
Once players like Neitz, McLean and Rivers are back to full fitness they should be back in AFL fantasy teams. For fantasy coaches who want to see an increase in value, possibly for a fantasy bench player, then Frawley and Petterd could be players to look at in the coming weeks. Melbourne have to play them for several reasons, not just because of the injuries but also because the youngsters might be better right now than several of the older players that have been there in the first 4 rounds.
